Baltimore museum. New Orleans has an airport called Louis Armstrong. As a collective memory that seeks forgiveness. I fly over the heart of the South. I wanted to take time to arrive in New Orleans. Getting there slowly, find an angle of attack. Traveling by train or catch a Greyhound bus. But I fly. I'm in a hurry.
Tomorrow I am meeting with Denise Duffy New Orleans. Denise Duffy is co-founder of Music Maker Relief Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps musicians enrolled in the musical traditions of southern United States. Denise is the executive director of the association founded with her husband, Tim, in 1994. With Music Maker, I discovered in France, Blues Passions Festival Cognac Blues, musicians like Adolphus Bell.
In 2005, he heard his delta blues festival Nancy Jazz Pulsations, played with Taj Mahal in Costa Rica and is about to go on tour throughout Europe, South America and the United States. Adolphus Bell, blazing in his white tuxedo, he lived a few years ago in a caravan in Birmingham, Alabama. Music Maker paid him teeth, helped him repair his car and retrieve his guitar left in pledge at pawnshop.

Music Maker offered him a career after 35 long years trying to survive somehow, more harm than good.
For Louis Armstrong how many talented musicians left in oblivion?
